John King's Left Wing Case Against the European Union

John King is best known as the author of the Football Factory, England Away and other classic novels of working class life. This week he has penned a substantial contribution to the anti-EU cause, arguing that those on the left, and those of liberal disposition should vote No, when the referendum comes.

I thought King's article so good, I link to it here. Other political currents will need to ask themselves some hard questions as we approach the referendum. For all its bluster, what is the SNP's concept of 'independence in Europe' actually worth? If the Greens believe in de-centralisation and are committed to the small scale as opposed to the conglomerate, how does that sit with Brussels? Do Anarchists really want a further tier of government we can readily do without?
